A Minnesota man faces 10 counts of criminal vehicular homicide for a crash in Minneapolis that killed five people last Friday. A Minnesota State Police trooper testified in an affidavit he followed the SUV Thompson was allegedly driving, and witnessed the vehicle speeding and moving erratically on Interstate 35W when the driver suddenly crossed all the lanes and exited onto Lake Street. Hennepin County Jail records Friday listed Thompson in custody at the Hennepin County Jail in lieu of $1 million bond. Investigators say Thompson fled the scene and was discovered nearby sitting in the parking lot of a Taco Bell, bleeding. The rental receipt indicated that the car was rented roughly 24 minutes before the crash, the complaint states.
